Driftless Music Festival

The Driftless Music Festival originated in 2012 with an audience of approximately 500 people. It grew out of the Driftless Jazz Festival, which had existed since 2007. With a more diverse line-up and free admission, this festival continues to draw music lovers from all over for the ten-hour event.

At the Driftless Music Festival, the line-up is always as diverse as the attendees! These family friendly bands will make the hours fly by!

The Moss brothers’ band Brother Brothers has a unique folksy sound with great harmony. Bailey Dee and Her Late Night Bait brings the rock ‘n’ roll! The Laurels String Quartet, seen on The Late Show with David Letterman, play a wide variety of music.
